burning of tie Opera Comique last night,

theater. Firemen assert that many
bodies are lying in the upper galleries.

have been recovered from the ruins. The
remains are principally those of ballet
girls, choristers and machinists The re
mains of three men and two women were
found in a stage box, where the victims
bad taken refuge from the flames. The
government proposes to- close several
Paris theaters because of their deficiency
in exits. Late this afternoon the bodies
of eighteen ladies, all in full dress, were
found lying together at the bottom of the
staircase leading from the second story.
The work of searching for bodies was re-
sumed tonight. A number more were
exhumed. An official statement says
fifty bodies have already been recovered.

deputies this afternoon, estimated that at
least 200 persons lost their lives in the fire.

sible to form a stable ministry and that he

ST. LOUIS, May 26.-The attention of
the general assembly of Southern Pres

discourses on the ACCESSIBILITY to organize
union with the Northern church. Rev.
j. M. P. OTIS strongly advocated union
Just as soon as it can be accomplished on
terms and conditions safe and honorable

by the war should be over. The Episco-
palians and Baptists had united with
their Northern brethren, and now was the
time for the PresbYterians to do likewise.
Rev. G. K. Waugh, of Lexington, Va,
spoke against the majority report. He
thought the church could not change it's
relationship as quickly as business men
and politicians. He laid particular stress
upon the color line, and, after a time, he

A relic treasured by the centenarian, Daniel

The ice harvest on the Penolscot is about
over and the total cut Oh the river for the
present season will amount to 1872 600 tons. The
weather during the entire season has been eN-
trcmely unfavorable for the ice men, so that
the expense of harvesting has been quite double
that of ordinary years. For instance. one
item, it has been necessary to plane off fully
twelve inches of the surface ice in order to get
at the clear blue ice for which the Penobscot is
famous.
The Machias Union has been gathering sta
